The Staffordshire-based company will instal new fermentation and maturation tanks as well as a brew house for triple-filtering beer. It said the expansion is in response to a growing global craft beer scene.

“We are being requested in more and more outlets from independent bars and restaurants to wholesalers and retailers at home and abroad,” said Freedom Brewery’s director, Andrew Taylor. “Our growth and expansion importantly means we are not only able to make more of our award-winning beers, but to keep innovating and introducing more new products.”
